my father just called me (he works at radio station) and told me he has accreditations for RTF4!!!

I was like wtf? I saw the tour dates and they are not coming (to Croatia)... then I saw on internet that they have been comfirmed for first avantgarde festival in Rovinj (near Trieste, but in Croatia) on July 17th!

I cant be more happy! and also we got the tickets for Dr. Lonnie Liston Smith

So, do you think they will be tailoring their set these shows? Perhaps concentrating on Frank's more jazzy instrumental stuff? Somehow I don't see a lot of songs about groupie sex and eating yellow snow going over big with the RtF crowd, but RDNZL will drop jaws.

I was thinking the same thing...focus on the more Jazz oriented stuff...

Return To Forever, whose mind-blowing experimentation in jazz and rock transformed the music world, will debut a historic new lineup this summer on a massive tour of 32 US cities. The tour brings a re-imagined musical dimension to both the wildly influential group and its repertoire. Return to Forever feat. Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Jean-Luc Ponty and Frank Gambale will appear with special guest Zappa Plays Zappa

Riverbend Music CenterJust Announced: Return To Forever IV with Zappa Plays Zappa at PNC Pavilion on August 18. The tour features Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Jean-Luc Ponty and Frank Gambale. On Sale This Saturday and 10am!

Santana generally switches bands between rock and jazz, and quite often, I saw him with John Mclaughlin on the devotion tour and believe me he played solo's that were different on each tune as well as his famous rock licks. Check out an old cd of his Borboletta, his catalogue is huge.

It looks like we are not breaking out the Time Machine for this round since I have convinced Mrs.Plook to go to the show in Davis (this will be her first ZPZ, she saw FZ in 1980 at the LA Sports Arena). I think this show will work for her due to the RTF jazz and the assumption that ZPZ will lean that way too. I know KU and Kapt.Kiirk will be there and I can only hope Cletus makes the extra distance to come also, of course the boyz should show up too (Happy, Nic, Ed). Anyone else targeting this show should let us know and we can hook-up...

So why would so many " better guitar players" want to play with carlos.

I think the reason better guitarists want to play with Carlos is for the exposure to a bigger audience. Carlos had the good fortune of playing the overrated Woodstock Festival and like many others who played Woodstock, he became an overnight superstar. Mclaughlin sold a lot less units than Santana. Playing with Santana exposed him to the huge pop/counter culture audience that existed in 1973. I think it was a business move.

NOT, I saw Carlos with Joe Zawinul, and Wayne Shorter, venue held 200 people, Joe made a special point of the talent of Carlos, called him Mr. Melody, and in fact the tour was to showcase Santana's talent to more jazz fans.
